Finally, after 2.5 years of making levels, editing them, finding music, testing, tweaking, and perfecting, SubLems is finally available for release!
SubLems is a large pack with 130 levels across 7 difficulties exclusive for SuperLemmini. The pack has a very gentle learning curve, so even beginners can play and have fun. But be warned, don't take the pack too lightly; the later difficulties have levels hard enough to stump even the most skilled Lemmings experts! Each level has its own unique music track that plays only on that level, so boredom will never be a problem! There are also
BOSS FIGHTS! One per main difficulty.

http://www.lemmingsforums.net/index.php?topic=1793.0I'm not sure if it will work for early versions of SuperLemmini, but I know for a fact it works on versions 0.102a and 0.102b.
Step 2: extract the folder titled "SubLems" (without the quotes) into the "levels" folder in SuperLemmini.
Step 3: extract the folder titled "sublems music" (without the quotes) into the "music" folder in SuperLemmini. (Only for the full version of SubLems)
Step 4: extract the folder titled "all" (without the quotes) into the "styles" folder in SuperLemmini.
The folder titled "SubLems Replays" contains all of my replays for every level, which contain the official solutions to each level. It is not necessary to extract it to play SubLems, neither is the README file.
And that's it! Have fun playing!
I want feedback! I cannot tell you how much I want your feedback on this pack, both good and bad. Tell me what you liked, what you didn't, what I could do better, and why. I want to know your favorite and least favorite levels so I can learn to be a better designer. Also, if you solve a level and think you backrouted it; please send me a replay or a link to a video of said solution. I know there are a lot of backroutes in the game, and I intend on releasing updates to patch backroutes.
Here are some sneak peaks at the various difficulties in SubLems:
NewbieAre you new to Lemmings? Is this your first custom levelpack? Do you want a refresher on the basics of Lemmings? Do you want to get to know SuperLemmini? Do you want to appreciate architecture and/or great music? If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, you should play this difficulty. This has 10 tutorial levels that introduce you to the basic mechanics of Lemmings and SuperLemmini. Even if you are an expert, I still recommend you play this pack; it is really short, has great music, and at least one level returns in a later difficulty.
Just don't expect all of the levels to be walks in the parkDifficulty: early Fun
SweetThe first of the main difficulties, which all have 20 levels! Sweet is a warm and inviting difficulty, which builds on what you learned in Newbie. You'll find beautiful architecture and music, as well as simple levels that can be easily solved. Sweet also rewards players for their intelligence; a smart player can use more advanced techniques to solve levels more quickly and easily than beginners. Also, don't expect all of the levels to be easy as pie; the levels get challenging at the end.
All aboard the SubLems express!Difficulty: Fun-Tricky
ScaryGone are the warm and inviting levels of Sweet; these levels are starting to get intimidating. Suddenly, environments are more hostile, traps are starting to pop-up, and tasks are getting more scarce. The levels may start as easy as Sweet, but they quickly climb in difficulty, which will give players much more challenge than the Sweet levels. This is also where you will start to encounter puzzle levels, which force you to find new ways of using these tasks. Get that brain working; you'll need to...
The solutions won't always be crystal clear hereDifficulty: Tricky-Taxing
ChaoticAs the name implies, this is where the levels start to get chaotic. Now, skills are even more limited, the release rates are high, more and more hatches need to be attended to, and now, time isn't always on your side. You'll encounter even harder puzzles now, and they only get harder from here on out. Think hard, and get used to hitting that pause button; it will become your best friend before this difficulty is over.
If you want to go through the fire and flames, you'd best do it quickly...Difficulty: Taxing-Mayhem
InsaneThis is where we separate the boys from the men and the girls from the women. No more punches are pulled; these levels are downright diabolical! Highly advanced tricks are needed for these levels, as well as speed, patience, and extreme intelligence. These levels will give even experts trouble, and novices have no chance, since Insane demands tricks even more advanced than those used in the official games!
I AM PIPE MONSTER! I WILL DESTROY YOUR LEMMINGS AND HOPE!Difficulty: Mayhem-Sunsoft
HellishWelcome to Hell. Abandon all hope of leaving unscathed. This is where the game shows its true colors. All of the most diabolical and devious puzzles have been saved for last. Experts will tremble at the might of Hellish! Even the music is showing how tense the levels are now, and the environments are as crazy as the difficulty. Do try to finish, as the final level is
quite spectacular. Prepare to be here for a while, possibly FOREVER!
You thought Lemmings' Ark was hard? Try beating it with only ONE miner! Difficulty: WELL BEYOND SUNSOFT!!!RetroBonus time! Savvy Lemmings players will get deja vu here, as this difficulty contains an extra 20 levels from Lemmings and Oh no! More Lemmings! with different skill assignments. This has its own difficulty curve, and while it starts easy, it becomes brutally difficult at the end. I look forward to seeing if anyone can beat the final level...
Don't let nostalgia cloud your brain, you'll need the neurons.Difficulty: Tricky-
WELL BEYOND SUNSOFT!!!
